Writing
“Writing is its own reward.”—Henry Miller
Why I Write
For years, I wrote but did nothing with my work. Stories were started but never reached completion.
After fifteen years as a high school English language and history teacher, I decided to focus on my passion for writing. Teaching provided few dull moments and a lot of lessons in human nature, patience, and the power of humor. Inside my head are characters with stories to tell, and I’m eager to get them on the page.

I am querying my debut novel, adapted from my script Move Forward With Me. Stay tuned!
